DEVELOPING PARAMEDIC PRACTICE - 2018/9

Module code: NUR1050

Module Overview

The module will commence with an introduction to the therapeutic self in relation to clinical practice within a simulated area. The student will reflect on simulated patient interaction demonstrating their understanding of assessing the patient’s clinical presentation through consolidated theory. This is provided in concurrent modules informing bio-physiological, psycho-social and emotional patient perspectives. Formative feedback from the tutor team and peer student groups will enhance the learning providing building blocks to confidence to enable future patient interaction. The student will then move into the clinical environment under the supervision of practice placement educators. The student will improve their proficiency in communicating, assessing and caring for patients in the emergency and urgent care sector.

This module aims to enable the students to develop a range of clinical practice experiences intially using a simulation within the context of professional practice. The aim is to preapre students fro the range of clinical placements within the emergency and non emergency health and social settings. Students will gain confidence and competence with patient interactions. This will be supported through completing the patient clinical report documenttion of the acquired assessment data required in year one to prapare them for a range of clinical placements.
